reflections in the rain about a dream
Well, that’s not exactly true.
Let’s say that someone “finds” it. Andrew McDonald came up with a novel idea on how to guilt-trip {burden their conscience} the person into bringing back his camera. He always keeps these 25 images on his compact flash card, in a separate folder. That way it won’t be erased when new pictures are taken. Someone put the images in a nicely animated GIF.

It’s kind of funny, in a sick way. My wife and I are trying to imagine the scene, how Joe Jackson climbed into the window and scared his little son shitless.
One night while Michael was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom window, wearing a fright mask and screaming. He said he wanted to teach the children not to leave the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterward, Jackson said he suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.
Stephen Morgan goes couchsurfing in Slovenia. I love the concept of couchsurfing. At my place in Quebec, we hosted a bunch of couchsurfers during the year I stayed there. We met interesting people. I had an Italian roommate, as well as a pure laine Quebecer.

I’ve mentioned to someone that watching the Jersey Shore is like watching Animal Planet. It’s like watching the mating habits of a cheetah, or something like that. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is true. This episode was definitely better than last week’s. MTV decided to pull the footage of that dude punching out Schnickers, even though they showed it in previews a bunch of times in the past.
The Situation is getting a bit pathetic. For all of his talk about pulling girls, he clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing. He always wants to get them in the hot tub then into bed. Usually, if people want to hook up, they’ll hook up. This gives the girls he brings back ample chance to reconsider and leave. This has happened every single time.
This week, I watched the show again via the MTV website.

Twitter Hacked by Iranian Cyber Army
When I realized that a Twitter tab hadn’t been updated in an hour, I checked and found out that Twitter is down. Is Twitter down? Yes!
In other news, a popular tweeting military mom gets slammed for announcing that her son died on Twitter while it happened. Well, that’s not exactly true, but within a few hours of him dying, she started posting stuff about it on Twitter. He was found drowned in her pool. Critics are saying that if she spent as much time with him as she did on Twitter, he might still be alive. Some say that this is the danger of social media.
Not long after that, a firestorm erupted on Twitter, with strangers wondering what kind of mother tweets during a crisis. The debate has been going on for days around the Internet, with critics calling Ross callous (and suggesting that if she had been paying as much attention to her child as she had to her Twitter account, her son would not have come to harm) and supporters (many who know her in real life, and others who have never met her) describing her as a caring mother who reached out to her virtual community during a tragedy.
Update: Twitter is back up! Outage was for about an hour. TechCrunch reports that Twitter was hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army.
In her latest column, Lynsey goes to her first porn expo, where she meets a bunch of different porn starlets. I like her descriptions of what she saw, but there’s more to her post than just that. It’s well written and it tries to shatter some of the prejudice we have about the people working in porn, because in the end, they are just people.

You might think that, but I’m afraid that I couldn’t possibly comment.
Francis Urquhart
When I was younger, I enjoyed two famous dramas on PBS from the UK. They were mini-series and both had Ian Richardson. The first was Porterhouse Blue and the second was the House of Cards trilogy.
In House of Cards, Ian Richardson portrayed the Machiavellian Francis Urquhart and his quest to for power. It slipped my mind that Richardson actually died in 2007. Anyway, I just spent some time yesterday watching House of Cards again. Needless to say that it’s pretty good. I’m unsure if I have seen all three mini-series, but I’ve just started watching To Play King.

This trashy bit of trashiness is a strange testament to Americana. I don’t really like MTV’s reality TV shows, but I sort of like this one. Why? I just want to see how bad it gets. It’s the kind of show that’s so bad that it’s kind of good, in an eerie manner.
This episode featured some girl-on-girl action in the hot tub, ’cause Snooki, in her own words:
I had a feeling where I wanted to make out with somebody, so, um, I just made out with Ryder, because all the guys like that.
Also, we had more of The Situation’s douche-bagginess, getting all upset because Sammi likes Ronnie better. And lastly, one of the original crew decided to leave or was fired, or probably both. Check it out!
